Over nine games with Dallas this season, James has averaged 3.3 points and 1.1
assists per game, including a 10-point performance in the Mavs' 117-114 loss
to Oklahoma City on Jan. 18.

"I'm going to announce Mike James' contract will be guaranteed for the rest of
the year. The decision has been made. We're happy to announce that. He's done
a really terrific, solid job since he's been here, so it's good news for us,"
Carlisle said after Dallas' 110-95 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday
